undefeated heavy hitting Paulus Moses
That's terrible news not good news.
Moses isn't the world champ. He has some shitty WBA version stripped off Marquez. Who regards him as champ? Come on now.. is he even top 10 Ring ranked?

Re: Barrera gets WBA world title fight in January!
Marquez is the super but also "rightful" WBA champ.Originally Posted by Howlin Mad Missy
It was Juan Diaz before the WBA decided to make him "super" champ. Obviously Marquez beat Diaz.
And obviously the WBA only split up the title to make more money out of it. So obviously it means shit. Like all alphabets.
Anyway.. Marquez is linear champ through beating Casamayor. So Barrera would need to beat him for "world champion" to mean anything.

How many guys get a title shot by fighting and beating the top guys 1 through 10? I have no question that the 'super' title is a load of crap but I don't think it's fair to suggest that other boxers don't work the system.

Re: Barrera gets WBA world title fight in January!
MAb may not be the fighter he once was as age and time served takes its toll, but he has as much heart as any man who steps in the ring. I don't know how much longer that will carry him, but it has to be respected. Would love to see him leave on a winning note.

I have no problem with Barrera getting a shot at Moses. Just I wouldn't class him as THE world lightweight champion if he won. Obviously he would be A "world" champion though. Just like Khan is "world" champion for beating Kotelnik.Marquez is the super but also "rightful" WBA champ.

Actually, Moses was WBA champion when they decided to make the Marquez vs. Diaz fight for the vacant WBA 'Super' Title purely because the vacant WBO belt was on the line. Marquez is only WBA champion because that organisation is full of shit.

Re: Barrera gets WBA world title fight in January!
Diaz was the champ when they decided to split the title - for the Freitas unification fight, and lost before the Marquez fight, so you're right he shouldn't have been champ, but neither would Moses be if it hadn't been split.Marquez is the super but also "rightful" WBA champ.

Yes.. the WBA along with all other alphabets are utter crap.

MAB is going to get sparked and it will be a sad thing to see. I doubt I even tune into this one.
I wasn't even able to see Tyson on Opera because they were breaking him down, so I just shut it off because that is not the kind of memory I want to be left with about Iron Mike. I was not even a huge fan of his but at the end of the day, he was feared in the ring before his life got flipped upside down.

I don't wanna see MAB fight on to be honest, he don't have the same guts and heart he once had.

Re: Barrera gets WBA world title fight in January!
I'm curious to see how Barrera looks. It's been a long lay off. It's hard to say where he is right now though. The Khan fight didn't tell us anything and the few fights before that were against cab drivers.
Prior to that he did give Pacquiao his toughest fight in recent memory and gave Marquez a very good run for his money, in a weight class that Marquez fights more effectively at. He might well still have a bit in him, but we can only tell from him getting some rounds under his belt.
I've no issues with the fight. It's as good a warm up as you can expect.
